Identify Salvaged 92x

Well I went to Wisconsin and picked up my transmission, axels, and steering rack today. I was surprised to see that the car had MNSubaru white stickers on the back windows. The salvage yard said the car came in about a year ago.

Anyone know who's car this was?

Black Saab 92x Turbo with front and rear damage.

 

yes... dang it

he lost it in a tunnel or into guard rails...

 

The guy from Duluth ???

 

I believe it is Saabaru.

And it was in tunnel.

yeah was just looking for that thread.. I actually just posted his name but closed the window.. ha haha

 

Man you are good!! I bet you don't hear that every day.

I think I will drop Saabaru a note to let him know that at least part of his car lives on.

 

I thought Saabaru's car was red?

 

didn't topher have one black one???

 

It says Black in his thread, after re-reading I am not sure.

 

Mike, approx $$ what does a 5spd run at the yards nowadays?

 

saabaru's car was black.

 

uh oh....

 

1300 - 2300

Most 05s were around 1800, oddly enough 02s ran higher around 2300.

 

I don't think it was turbo though...was it?

 

correct, topher's was an N/A 2.5


definitely saabarus, would have been almost exactly a year ago.

 

wow how time flys...i still remember forcing that cheapy exhaust on to that car

 

topher had a silver saab what I remembered

 

Saabarus car is @ Strandbergs
Yes its his.

 

So where did the leather seats go?

 

BTW Tranny installed by Bikerboy (Thanks Matt) drove to Chicago 1 hour after install, car is great again.

Now for the new steering rack.

 

Mike what are you going to do with the old tranny?

 

How much will you give me for it?

The plan is to take it up to Mayhem for the autopsy, after that I have no plans. The problem is that it stinks sooooo baaad I don't want to put it in the back of my car. I bet RS Motors still stinks due to my trans.

 

How much you want for the case?

 

Let me see if its any good, may have spun a bearing in one of the journals.

 

I am in Indy this weekend racing, won't be back until next week, if someone wants the Tranny they can take it.

Mike

 

You saying its free?

 

Its yours, I just want DETAILED when you open it up.

 

PM'ed

 

*update*
Motor, wiring, ecu, etc... are all back in Duluth.
hmmmm, beetle swap? mid engine Squareback? RWD Starlet....

 

Yep, I knew it was going there, this isn't your first swap is it?

 

not mine personally, but too good of a price to pass up.
Swaps Phil(guy I work with) has done, ej22 into a 73 bus, Forrester XT in a 71 type3 Fastback, in the middle of another 22 in a 71 bus, and working up a parts list for a 22 in a mid 80 watercooled Vanagon.
My beetle proved to be too "soft" for my SOHC 2.5 plans, so might have to find another over the winter.

 

would you happen to know if the roof rail deletes were still on it

 

no idea. can check though. phil might be goin back down there this weekend

 

i sent u pm
